The centre back apparently wants a better wage and is willing to leave the club if offered one elsewhere. "For me, he is the best this season".

Hazard and De Bruyne are close friends and teammates on the Belgium National Team.

Hazard will be hoping to help Chelsea FC return to winning ways on Saturday evening when the Blues host Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League.

Despite last season's successful Premier League title campaign under Italian coach Antonio Conte, Chelsea have now become a shadow of their former self, sitting fifth in the standings and a massive, 25 points off league leaders Manchester City.

Manchester City attacker Kevin De Bruyne has said that his team are determined to "win every game" between now and the end of the season.

We aim to play simple but in a ideal way - that's the football we love, and at the moment it's a lot of fun.

In the interview, Hazard revealed that De Bruyne got his vote for best in the Premier League over players like Harry Kane (the league's leading scorer) and Mohammed Salah.

"I think there are three: Kevin De Bruyne, Mohamed Salah and Harry Kane", said the 27-year-old.

"The team has the conditions and quality to play much better and we have to change the attitude, right?"
